Bitcoin Faces Growing Quantum Computing Threat
1,200. That’s the figure published in March 2026 in a landmark whitepaper from Google Quantum AI. Utilising optimised versions of Shor’s algorithm, the team showcased that compromising the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography safeguarding every Bitcoin address necessitates a maximum of 1,200 logical qubits and under half a million physical qubits. That estimate is approximately 20 … Read more
